After recess the grade 1's did wordwork and the grade 2's did booktime. The grade 1's are working on a list of 8 words this week. The words are:
1.The
2. Of
3. And
4. That
5. Cat
6. Mat
7. Sat
8. Hat
Then, it was time for math. Addison, Morgan, and Isabel shared their answers from last week's home challenge. They discovered that when you could by 5's starting at any number the numbers in the ones place always alternate and make a pattern. Here is an example of counting by 5's starting at 3: 3,8,13,18,23,28,33,38. Can you see how the numbers in the one's place always go 3,8,3,8?
Home Challenge: Try counting by 9's starting at 0. Do you notice a pattern? Write down your answer and bring it to share!
After lunch we went outside to see if the weather had done anything to our ice village. Before we went out we checked today's temperature (2C when we checked) and made some predictions about our ice village. Several of us predicted that the ice village might have melted because it was above 0C outside and we know that water freezes at 0C. When we went outside we noticed that the ice looked much smoother and had lots of cavities or crevices inside it. We also noticed that the colours had changed or moved in some of the pieces and we could see places where the the colour from one piece and dripped onto another piece. We also noticed that some of the snow was coloured. We think this was because the when the coloured ice melted it dripped onto the snow. We will keep making observations of our ice village to see what happens.
Please remember that tomorrow is Treat Day!
